I thought so.
A funny story. My friend have some tides in Vladivostok.
One of his contacts overe there called him with the list of prices for the screwbacks.
My memorable moment:
Bogdan Khmelnitskiy 1st class = $800.00
Bogdan Khmelnitskiy 2nd class = $600.00
Bogdan Khmelnitskiy 3rd class = $400.00

Are those prices from Avars catalog? :p

Hey Ruslan,

If they are real, could you have your friend pick me up ... oh what the hell ... 4-5 Khmelnitsky 1st class...

OK?

Eric

I told him that he forgot one zero in the price and asked him to keep looking.

Shane,

You probably have the one, that was published before Avers-1, which I don't have.

Four looks interesting, and is one I don't have. Does this cover soviet awards as well? BTW, my Avers #1 is an A4 sized paperback version, not a hardback as you have. I assume, therefore, there are at least two editions.

Kind Regards,

And the graddaddy of them all.... :) I think this is the one Shane is referring to. Now if the prices were ever like that in reality...

Yes, Dave, I have this one. Makes for fun reading! If only I started collecting medals in 1993!

Kind Regards,
Shane Cook.

Shane-

I was in Russia collecting medals when I bought this copy of Avers in 1993. Unfortunately, the prices were never like those in the book (at least they weren't where I was!) It would have been nice though!!!!! :)

Friends,

The new Avers #6 book is out.

This issue looks very different from the previous ones - it went through the complete make-over and the quality - both of content and printing - is supposed to be improved dramatically.

Rumour has it that this issue was done with the ambition enough to become Russian equivalent of McDaniel's work.

As always with Avers books - it's also a price guide. As we all know previous editions suffered from listing unrealistically low prices. Well, this time they seem to have prices that are more or less in sync with the market realities

Author - V. D. Krivtzov

Published - 2003

Size - 430 pages
Printing run - 2100 copies

Price in Moscow - 2135 Rubles

Best regards,
William

As you can notice - quality is so much better that in the prior issues.

The going rate in Russia is 2135 Roubles.
That's roughly $71 US.

This better be some book!!!

And in St. Petersburg the price is 2800 roubles !!! ( = something about 80 euros).
